I'm a little confused about why people are quite so disappointed we didn't sign anyone. The league is in Liverpool's hands. Maybe signing a striker would get us some points we wouldn't have gotten otherwise but there's little guarantee a new striker would win us anything. There's a much higher chance that Liverpool wins the league anyway, or that if they do capitulate, we can win it with Kai at 9 anyway.

I think we have a good and clear long-term plan that doesn't allow for big-money band-aid signings in January.

We have no depth which means we're gonna have even more injuries. Kai should not be a starting striker for a title winning team. We won't be a title winning team with him as a striker.

We are still in the champions league, even if the league is gone. These players are playing way too many minutes. With Martinelli's injury today we have only Trossard, Havertz, Sterling, and Nwaneri in our top three positions.

For me, it's because Arteta has been pretty damn clear we want and need one, we've been needing one for several windows, and also there's no guarantee that all our current options can stay fit. If Havertz gets injured now, what do we do? Play one of Trossard / Martinelli up top and put the other + Sterling / Nwaneri in every single game?
